Thanksgiving is great. It's a day for families to get together, to catch up, and to remind people to remember the blessings that they have in their lives. But it's important not to let Thanksgiving be the only day of the year you take to remember the great things you have in your life. This year, the day after Thanksgiving, I decided to think of fifty unconventional little things (besides the obvious family, friends, life, shelter, etc.) that I can remember to enjoy every day of this year. I think it's a fun exercise, and it really reminded me of some of the amazing things in this life.

Here's my list:

  1. Music with meaning
  2. Dogs
  3. Cats
  4. When dogs give you kisses
  5. Colors
  6. The smell of warm cookies
  7. Chocolate
  8. Rainbows
  9. Little baby chicks
  10. Butterflies
  11. Eating turkey and stuffing and bread until you’re ready to fall over
  12. Books
  13. Warm blankets
  14. Fuzzy socks
  15. Beautiful artwork
  16. The Christmas season
  17. Snow days

  27. Movie nights
  28. Roller coasters
  29. Hand-picked flowers
  30. Baby penguins
  31. When cats purr
  32. That exciting feeling on the night before a big event
  33. When a random stranger stops to compliment you
  34. Accents
